  • a Custody and administration 2 countries Holding clients' crypto-assets or the private keys to them, and keeping them safe. This is what a wallet service or an exchange that keeps your coins does.

  • h Advice on crypto-assets not authorised Giving personalised recommendations to a client about buying, selling or holding specific crypto-assets.
  • i Portfolio management not authorised Managing a client's crypto-asset portfolio with discretion, under a mandate — deciding what to buy and sell on their behalf.
